Burmecian Race

[Bright-Flower]

I wouldn't mind burmecians but wouldn't get excited for them either.

I don't expect to ever see another playable race in FFXIV after female hrothgar are added either way though.

I would fanta from Cat girl to Rat girl so fast. Out of any potential playable race this is the one Id' like to see the most. I'm hoping that as the years go by the race implementation problem becomes less of an issue and they start becoming more open to the idea of new playable races. Potentially having Bangaa, Burmecians, Hrothgar, and Ivalician Moogles would be great and a nice line up of playable beast races.

nope nope nope
no more new races - SE ought to concentrate on expanding on the poor cc of the current races

I mean of all the races they could add, you expect them to spend all that resources to play as rats? LMAO.

Rats are the hit new internet meme. It’d be crazy not to!

See the thing is they need to adjust every single piece of gear for each new body type - that's why we have only really human-looking races.
That's the reason Hrotgar and Viera can't wear most headgear - it's 'just' a single piece and not the whole set they need to adjust and it's still a HUGE undertaking.
Now imagine how much work it would be to adjust ALL the gear for a race like this (that only a small fraction of ppl would play, anyway).

Granted, Burmecian's body may be a bit out of the norm, but Ivalician Moogles are so close to Lalafell, that adjusting the gear could just be as simple as putting it on them. The only real issue, like with Hroth and Viera, would be the headgear. Possibly the animation, but XII has a plethora of animations to reuse/refit. That being said, I do see Burmecian being Elezen's counter and Ivalice Moogle would be Lalafell's, just as Hrothgar is Roegadyn's.

Why not?
Sure we have lizards, wolves, elephants, cats, swine, fish people, moogles and such....
But why not Rat People?

Would love but I will go to the crowd of asking to improve the other races customization.

It hurts to say but with how Viera and Hrothgar are handled, I wouldn't imagine burmecian or other similar races to be treated...

While I see your point, it might just be a hard fact we have to live with. To some, that might be a fair compromise, while to others it is not. For me however, I would be ok with the compromise if it meant I could play as either burmecian or ivalice moogle.

Qiqirn are basically most of the way there already, but I don't see this (or others people have been asking for, like Bangaa) happening because the snout would basically make it impossible for them to wear helmets, if Hrothgar (and their still mostly flat faces) are any indication. Slight tangent, but I really wish they'd pushed their current races further during the design phase that people wouldn't be able to just call them "human but with X"

I don't know why the Qiqirn keep being mentioned as if the game can only have one species of a race. The Ixal and Vanu Vanu are both bird like races. The Miqo'te and Hrothgar are two feline based races. I don't know why it seems like Qiqirn and Burmecians (Or what FFXIV's equivalent of Burmecians would be at least) both can't coexist as rodent races. And on another note, I also don't understand why every time a new playable race is suggested people hop in and mention expanding/updating current character customization options as if we don't want that or to imply that some of us aren't already on the same page. Honestly, I'd rather them improve the character creation first before considering a new playable race (if they ever) so they don't run into so many issues implementing them or at least have less issues with the process.
